The Alamo site actually has two basements.
. The structure was built in 1922 as San Antonio Fire Station No. 2. It was used as a fire station until the Alamo compound came under state control in the late 1930s.
Directed by Tim Burton,"Pee-wee's Big Adventure" stars Paul Reubens as Pee-wee Herman, whose signature look includes a tight suit, a red bow and butch wax on his short-cropped hair. The Alamo is an 18th-century Spanish mission that became a 19th-century makeshift fort during Texas' quest for independence. It became an iconic historic site in the 20th-century thanks to its depictions in books, television shows and movies such as"Pee-wee's Big Adventure."
"Though the Alamo interior was filmed at the Mission San Fernando Rey de Espana in California, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure helped connect the site with a new generation in the 1980s," said Jonathan Huhn, a spokesman for the Alamo."The film helped to confirm the myth that the Alamo Church does not have a basement. However, it will surprise some readers to learn that the Alamo gift shop, located next to the Alamo Church, does indeed have a basement.
In the film, Pee-wee's adventure leads him through a maze of events, including a run-in with police and a wooing by a waitress in a highway diner who dreams of running away to Paris. Pee-Wee ends up in San Antonio, where he learns that his red, balloon-tired bicycle has won a starring role in a major motion picture. He runs off to Hollywood to retrieve it.
